« WHAT A COOL GAME! So many secrets and a genuinely fun murder mystery puzzle at the heart of it. Took me awhile to solve because I'm dumb but it was so satisfying! I hope enough people buy this game so the dev can make more <3 »

« It's great and very well made. But it's short, much too short to be honest. You can finish it in 30 minutes even when you really take the time to see every detail. It's too short to really leave a mark. »

« 5 Dollars for a 30 minute Flash game. The only way to progress the game is to spam jump into every corner until you find a secret. Bad gameplay, Good world building however. This should be on Armor Games lowkey. »
